Munster's action was like a silent switch that started the next attack. Several siren subjects threw their saliva and screamed at it, their tongues lashing out like whips in the air. Munster turned and swept them out with his tail, and at the same time, the gunshots rang out.
Sharp screams cut through the darkness, and the group of experimental subjects became obviously more excited under the stimulation of blood and wounds... Of course, they were originally created for this occasion. More and more experimental subjects rushed in the direction of Rand and Munster, and they were quite smart to realize that Rand, who is a human, was a weak point for the first time. It is precisely because of this that even with the presence of Munster, more and more experimental subjects are still attacking Rand, bullets piercing their sticky cold bodies and leaving sparks on the metal walls.
They were screeching and screaming, but in the chaos Rand couldn't tell whether they were making noises from the pain of the injury or from the extreme excitement. Those human bones, those teeth marks on those bones, the slides reverberated in Rand's mind as he fired.
Munster was mad at the situation, baring his teeth, his mouthparts fully ejected, and his tentacles and tail fluttering into fan-like phantoms. Blood spurted through the air, and Rand heard the screams from Munster and the subjects—perhaps some kind of sonic attack—and he felt nauseated and a headache a few seconds later. Those siren subjects didn't look much better than him, and Rand saw some of the subjects' hair swell, and a ghostly cold light flashed in their eyes.
"boom-"
Rand kept pulling the trigger, but suddenly, his gun suddenly lightened.
The magazine is empty.
In the short moment when the gunshots stopped, a huge damp shadow suddenly fell on the top of Rand's head.
"Boom—"
At the moment of falling, its eight arthropod-like feet were deeply embedded in the floor.
It was a bizarre fusion of spider and jellyfish, and Rand was crushed under his hairy, barbed belly. From his point of view, the monster's mouthparts in the fluorescent light were bristling with bristles.
"Rand!"
Munster swept away two strong ones, trying to prevent his experimental body from jumping towards Rand, but at this time, the monster had already bounced its slender head, which was completely different from the huge body, towards Rand.
The tattered fangs, like tombstones in a long-lost tomb, were embedded under its muddy black gums.
Rand saw a flexibly turning compound eye between its teeth.
Time is slowing down...
Everything is like a slow-playing tape, moving slowly frame by frame.
Munster was flying towards him.
The monster's head lowered.
The compound eyes are turning, and they haven't focused on Rand for a long time.
A tooth-pointed dagger generally slid across Rand's eyelids.
…
Bright red blood poured out.
It slid over Rand's eyeballs, the sockets, and down his cheeks.
In the watery smell so thick that it was like gelatin, the sweet rust taste unique to human blood was so distinct that it looked like some kind of imprint—
The monster's movements suddenly stopped.
After a long effort, the compound eyes finally focused on Rand's pale, bloodless face.
At the same time, in the deepest part of the floating island base.
In the pure white room that was scorched by the artificial light, Vincent suddenly woke up.
Before that, its sanity had been bound in a huge, chaotic net, and all it could feel was the twisted and crazy pain and appetite, like a game that would never wake up, exuding a heavy fishy smell nightmare.
As an unsuccessful, even said, Siren experimental body, which was regarded as biological waste before, Vincent's spiritual power is not enough to completely control all other experimental bodies, his spirit has been eroded to pieces, and even has Lost the ability to think.
He dreamed of butterflies.
A slender butterfly with a green base and black texture.
He had been chasing the butterfly, and the butterfly reminded him of something nostalgic and warm. Vincent craved it as much as he craved blood and flesh. But there was something irritating about that butterfly. With sharp teeth and claws, it made all of Vincent's efforts in vain, making Vincent annoyed and angry, and manipulated a spider to slide down from the ceiling - it wanted that "butterfly"!
However, manipulating a large number of Siren experimental subjects over such a long distance finally made Vincent feel powerless. After the spider fell, it accidentally hurt the "butterfly".
Red blood gushed out from the other side's small wound.
The unusually bright colors slammed into Vincent's mind through the compound eyes along the spiritual link—
It trembled for a moment, then suddenly came to its senses.
Its head bent and bounced from the viscous repair fluid, its eyes quivering and aiming in a certain direction.
"Ran-de-"
Its wide, fang-laden lips could easily scrape human flesh from its bones, its barbed tongue moved awkwardly in its mouth for a moment, and uttered a distorted, vague word .
"Whoa-"
The once incomparably hard glass observation window suddenly shattered, and when the repairing liquid spewed out, Vincent staggered and straightened his body.
"No... no... Rand..."
It stood up blankly and looked down at its deformed, translucent hand.
Every inch of skin on my body was in severe pain.
Cloudy tears welled up from its deformed eye sockets...
Rand is here!
Rand is in this steel hell!
This cognition beat Vincent's chaotic thinking. On the one hand, he was so happy that his whole body trembled, and on the other hand, he felt extreme despair...
It had no way of meeting Rand.
Oh yes, it can't see Rand either - how can it expose a body like itself to Rand when it hasn't reverted to a human state, just an incredibly pathetic monster
"Leave... leave... leave... Rand..."
In the dark corridor, Rand was shocked to hear the terrifying "spider" slurping his vagina. The compound eyes were turning, and a spiky forelimb shone with faint blue light and densely covered with poison glands lifted up and stretched towards Rand's face. It looked as if it wanted to touch Rand's face... Only in an instant, the spiky forelimbs attached to half of its ribcage and were ripped apart alive.
The fluorescence in front of Rand's eyes became stronger.
"It's..."
Munster suddenly appeared beside the monster. It grabbed one of the spider-like monster's legs with force, and just like that, it completely dismembered it into fine pieces of meat. Some splattered blood sprayed Rand's body. The monster screamed in pain. It shivered wildly and bounced off Rand's body. And Munster also rushed towards it at the same time, and after a wet crushing sound accompanied the scream of the monster, everything was quiet.
All the siren subjects took a rustling step back, and the madness and chaos they had before suddenly disappeared like the water at low tide - Rand turned his head and frowned at them. .
The distorted faces of the siren subjects showed a shock and grief he couldn't understand.
A sensible, complex emotion controls them uniformly. Let them all step back after reaching Rand's line of sight, hiding their bodies in the darkness.
Munster hissed and tried to keep attacking them, but Rand grabbed it.
"Wait, Munster, wait a minute..."
He wiped the blood from his face, gasping for breath, looking at them.
"Rand?"
"They… they don't seem to want to attack us now do they?"
Rand swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the current appearance of the group of monsters overlapped with the previous spider-shaped monster.
And the shattering sound it had before...
Rand couldn't keep himself from caring about it.
Suddenly, the familiar sight before him made him realize something—
"Wen… Vincent?"
Rand's lips trembled, and a weak word slipped off the tip of his tongue.
If he could have the special ability to control and invade the Siren experimental body in the case of Sirenization before, then as his brother, can Vincent do the same
Afterwards, the reaction of the monsters after hearing the word virtually confirmed Rand's idea.
They shook their heads in confusion, squeezing hoarse denials from the deformed mouth at the same time.
"No... no—Rand... oh, Rand..."
The monsters were sobbing at the same time, they covered their faces with their claws, and their bodies wriggled and began to flee into the depths of darkness.
"Vincent - Vincent!"
Rand couldn't help but took two steps forward, trying to stop them.
But after a short while, the monsters that had surrounded him like a nightmare before had all disappeared.
"Rand, wait a minute..."
"Don't do that! Vincent, I know it's you—"
Rand's foot accidentally stumbled on a bump on the ground, and he almost fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, Munster finally hugged him directly.
"Rand, they have fled! You calm down first!"
Munster squeezed Rand's shoulder hard and said eagerly. Rand blinked in a trance and looked at Munster, who looked a little panicked under the fluorescence of his hair... He took a long breath.
Reason slowly returned to his body, and he realized that his right eye was completely covered in blood, with pain and searing throbbing above his lids.
His body was trembling unconsciously.
When he opened his mouth to speak, he heard his voice sharpen.
"It's Vincent! God! Those monsters... those monsters have Vincent in their heads!"
Rand leaned against Munster's arms.
He knows what it's like to invade and control the Siren experiment, and his intuition also tells him that this base will become like this, and it definitely has a great relationship with Vincent...
"Zizzi-"
In the corridor where Rand and Munster were located, there was a sudden sound of electricity.
After a tremor, the emergency lights on both sides of the wall slowly turned on.
Rand and Munster suddenly entered a state of alert, but after a long time, the entire corridor was still silent.
It's just that under the illumination of the emergency lights, the situation in the aisle becomes clear... At least, Rand will no longer trip over the debris on the ground.
"Munster... don't worry, I think... Vincent did it."
Rand had relaxed without realizing it.
He intuitively felt that they would not be attacked by any siren experimental subjects for a long time to come. And this light is more likely to be pure, to illuminate them.
Rand turned his head suddenly, looking straight at a flashing red dot in a corner where a monitor was working silently. If everything is as Rand thinks, then Vincent may have become the controller of the base now.
Just like what he did in Shenbai at the beginning, thinking of this, Rand's heart has a strange emotion... Should it be said that the two of them are worthy of being brothers
So much so that what they end up doing is so similar.
It's just that Vincent's emotions reflected on this group of experimental subjects were much more chaotic and painful than Rand's previous ones, causing Rand to fall into deep anxiety. It was because of it that Rand knew what those damn experiments were all about, and how they could destroy a person.
"Vincent..."
Rand raised his head and murmured towards the monitor.
"Listen, Vincent, I don't care what the hell you've become - but you can't do this to me, you can't just run away, and I'm not letting you run away, listen to me and I'll find out Yours! I will!"
…
Moments later, the same sound of emergency lights being activated came from a further section of the corridor.
If at this time, if you stand in the perspective of God, you will find that at the periphery of the floating island laboratory, which is as lifeless as a tomb, a corridor is lit up - all obstacles are cleared, the screen door is opened, and it is automatically cleaned. The robot received special instructions and began to run busy, sweeping the "clutter" on the ground... Even if it would consume the little power reserve left in the floating island base, it didn't care.
Rand walked a short distance down the aisle.
He could feel that the ventilation system was working, the air became warmer, and the surroundings were calm. Although there were still brown blood stains on the ground, large pieces of debris had been pushed down both sides of the aisle. Compared to the ones they had experienced before, the aisle was as comfortable as a shopping aisle in a large mall.
But even so, Rand, who was walking on it, was even more anxious than before...
If he had a bit of luck in dealing with possible situations before, now he has fully realized the grimness of reality. The emotions in his chest were expanding, squeezing the heart in his chest, and even his breathing and heartbeat became heavy.
He doesn't know what Vincent has become now, but he can predict that it will not be good - after realizing Rand's existence, Vincent's first reaction is to flee in such a hurry.
"Gosh, I don't know what happened to him, Munster, we have to find him, we have to save him..."
Rand repeats to Munster in a low voice like an anxiety sufferer. Munster nodded lightly, but what appeared in his bright red pupils was a unease that Rand had not noticed.
He had to, because otherwise he felt like he was going to be swallowed up by that intense anxiety.
Where is Vincent? Did he turn on these lights to show himself the way to him...
Unlike Rand, who was immersed in worry about his brother, Munster, who was also a siren, could detect more ominous... unsettling atmospheres from those previous monsters.
However, after seeing Rand's appearance, Munster finally lowered his eyes and silently said that he would support all of Rand's actions.
"hiss..."
All of a sudden, Rand felt as though he had heard the untuned hissing that was characteristic of Siren test subjects.
Before the brain could react, Rand's body moved on its own.
He bolted in that direction and came to a crossroads.
Of course, the siren experiment he heard had already sneaked away again. Its wet slime remained on the walls.
But Rand did not pursue it.
What he saw was a pile of supplies stacked not far in front of him. Obviously, the reason why the Siren experimental body appeared here is to carry these things-
Food, winter clothing, and a map showing the location of the outermost survival warehouse of the lab, where it was shown that there were dinghies in reserve for use on the icy waters. On the top of the map, there is a key with brown blood on it.
If you guessed correctly, it's the key to the boat.
In front of the pile of matter, the Siren experiment, under the control of Vincent, used his claws to draw a slanted handwriting on the ground.
[Get out of here, it is dangerous]
